1⸢qí-bi*⸣-ti-ka “your command”: The copy has ⸢qí-MA⸣-ti-ka. H. Schaudig (Inschriften Nabonids p. 473 n. 652) tentatively suggests reading the signs as ⸢a!-ma⸣-ti-ka “your [w]ord.”

2⸢šu-úr*?-ma-a⸣ “have (them) take up residence”: The copy looks more like ⸢šu-TU-ma-a⸣.

3This passage also appears in text no. 28 (Eḫulḫul Cylinder) i 21–23.

4reme*-nu-ú “merciful”: The copy has ŠU-nu-ú. ⸢um*⸣-ma “now”: For the use of umma in this passage not being used to introduce direct speech, but rather in the sense of Assyrian accentuating mā (“now”), see Schaudig, Inschriften Nabonids p. 276 §V.9.4 (with references to the relevant grammatical studies).

5šip-ri-šú “whose work”: Or possibly me-re-šú “whose wisdom.” It is not certain how the signs are to be read here, as already pointed out by H. Schaudig (Inschriften Nabonids p. 473).
